    Hi Sandeep

    I think your question is very opinion-based and up to the individual.

    But the way I usually do it is setting up a "Base" or "Master" doc type that holds all the regular fields which you always use on all pages, such as a headline, a content field, Meta Title, Meta Description and an umbracoNaviHide field.

    After that i add a "Home" doc type, and a "Full Width" doc type which inherit from the "Base" or "Master" doc type. On the "Home" doc type I allow "Full Width" to be a child node.

    This is my basic setup for almost any website.

    I then go ahead and add contact, gallery and whatever doc type I might need for the particular project.

    Hope this points you in the right direction :)

    Stefan
